ECOFLEX Electric Loose Heating Cable 100W/m²
ECOFLEX electric loose heating cable is designed for professional installers who need a more adaptable electric underfloor heating system for tiled rooms and complex layouts. Instead of using a fixed mesh mat, the cable is laid independently, allowing heating coverage to be tailored more precisely to the room.
This makes ECOFLEX particularly useful in spaces where every square metre matters, such as kitchens with cabinetry, bathrooms with sanitary ware, and conservatories with unusual floor plans.
Eco Friendly Heating & Flooring supplies ECOFLEX as a loose cable-only option, helping installers choose the right accessories and thermostat setup for the job rather than paying for bundled extras they may not need.
Flexible Heating for More Complex Rooms
One of the biggest advantages of ECOFLEX is its layout freedom. Because the heating wire is not locked into a fixed spacing on a mesh, installers can shape the system around obstacles and maximise the heated floor area where practical.
This can make a big difference in rooms that are not simple rectangles.
Key Features
- Loose cable format for flexible installation
- Strong choice for professional installers
- Excellent for kitchens, bathrooms and conservatories
- Efficient use of heated floor space
- Minimal packaging for a more economical solution
- Optional thermostats and fixing accessories available
Where ECOFLEX Works Best
- Bathrooms with awkward layouts
- Kitchens with islands or fixed furniture zones
- Conservatories with glazed edges
- Hallways and shaped entrances
- Rooms where a standard mat would leave too many cold areas
If your project uses a straightforward open floor area, a pre-spaced mat may be quicker. Compare systems in our Electric Underfloor Heating Systems Collection Guide.
Installation Guidance
ECOFLEX should be installed onto a properly prepared and insulated subfloor, then embedded in the appropriate tile adhesive or levelling layer depending on the floor finish and build-up. Final electrical connection and testing should always be completed by a qualified electrician.

FAQ’s
Why choose loose wire instead of a heating mat?
Loose wire gives more control over cable routing and is usually easier to work with in shaped rooms or areas with lots of fixtures.
Is ECOFLEX only for professional installers?
Yes. It is supplied as a professional loose cable option and is best suited to experienced installers familiar with underfloor heating layouts.
Can ECOFLEX heat a conservatory floor?
Yes. It is often used in conservatories and similar spaces where flexible cable placement helps respond to higher heat-loss zones.
What else do I need besides the cable?
You will normally need suitable fixing accessories, insulation, a thermostat and floor sensor, plus appropriate electrical installation and testing.
